500th Time Reborn, A World Only Known By Women: The Karma System

Chapter 681 The Battle's Crescendo

In the heart of the chaos, Draconia, Claire, and Elfinia observed the unfolding events with a mix of concern and admiration. The city was a battleground, a stage where the contenders for the title of Goddess faced trials that tested not only their strength but their character.

"They're holding their own," Draconia remarked, her eyes fixed on the screen displaying the aerial clash between Cherry and the dragon-form Pyrrah.

Claire nodded in agreement. "Indeed, it's impressive to see how they've adapted to the challenges. They're not just fighting for a title; they're fighting for the safety of the city and its people."

Elfinia, although usually reserved, couldn't help but express her amazement. "These girls are proving themselves worthy of the title of Goddess. They're not backing down, even against such powerful adversaries."

As the three goddesses continued to watch, the intensity of the battles reached a crescendo. Cherry, in her dragon-like form, clashed with Pyrrah in a fierce aerial duel. Each flap of their wings created shockwaves that reverberated through the city, and every blast of fire and energy illuminated the sky.

Down on the ground, O'Lee's struggle against Whispera continued to captivate the audience. The clash between water and distorted space created a dynamic spectacle, and O'Lee's determination to protect her fellow contestants and the city was palpable.

The other contestants—Glacia, Virdis, and Me'Tal—continued their efforts to safeguard the city and its residents. Glacia's icy fortresses and shields protected against stray attacks, Virdis's nature-infused barriers absorbed and redirected energy, and Me'Tal's cyclones served both as barriers and swift transportation.

Amid the chaos, Draconia couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. Her daughter, Cherry, was displaying a resilience and strength that exceeded her expectations. The trials designed by Galio were rigorous, but they were revealing the true potential within each contestant.

"There's a beauty in their struggles," Claire mused. "It's not just about power; it's about the willingness to protect and serve. These challenges are shaping them into leaders."

Elfinia, always analytical, added, "Galio's design is pushing them beyond their limits. It's not just a test of strength; it's a test of character. The one who emerges from this will truly be a worthy Goddess."

As the battles raged on, Draconia couldn't shake off a lingering worry. The Goddess Games were proving to be more challenging than she had initially anticipated. The contenders were facing not only external threats but also internal conflicts and rivalries that tested their unity.

In the sky, Cherry unleashed a powerful blast of fire that collided with Pyrrah's own fiery attack. The resulting explosion illuminated the city, casting a temporary blaze of light that captured the attention of everyone watching. The shockwaves echoed through the streets, and the spectators held their breath, unsure of the outcome.

As the smoke and flames began to dissipate, the screen revealed an image that stirred a collective gasp. Cherry, with determination burning in her eyes, emerged from the remnants of the explosion. Pyrrah, in her dragon form, was nowhere to be seen.

The crowd erupted into cheers, and Draconia couldn't contain her own sense of relief. Cherry, against all odds, had prevailed in the aerial duel. It was a moment of triumph that resonated with the spirit of the Goddess Games.

However, the ground battles continued. O'Lee, surrounded by the celestial power of her water magic, faced the relentless onslaught of Whispera's distortions. The clash of elements and divine forces created a tableau of sheer power.

The city, once a chaotic battlefield, now witnessed a momentary lull. The contestants regrouped, catching their breath, and the spectators awaited the next phase of the Goddess Games with bated breath.

"Don't you think this is enough for the first day?" Tallia snapped at me. "They have nearly destroyed a third of the city!"

"Meh," I replied, smiling down at the chaos below, and then looked back to Pyrrah who was resting on the floor of Breya's dining room. "You sure took an ass whopping. I really hope that you weren't using your full powers yet, right?"

"Tsk! Of course I wasn't!" Pyrrah snapped as she pealed her charred ass off the ground. "I just didn't expect to run into a group like them. The others that we attacked hardly even attacked us, and would get blown away. These ones are different."

I nodded but then looked back down at the fight from my portal in the sky. I could watch on the monitors, but the damage had gotten so bad that I had to keep an eye on everything. I didn't think the battles were going to get this wild right off the hop, but I should have expected it. Follow current ɴᴏᴠᴇʟs on novelenglish.net . Fire(.)nᴇt - novelenglish.net . bin

"I still think that you should stop this for today," Tallia growled, but I shook my head.

"And rob O'Lee of the fight results?" I asked, but then shook my head. "Fat chance, but I will stop it after this fight, so pull your panties out of your crotch."

"Keep it up, Mr. Cat God and you will not be getting any for a while, and I will make sure the other women don't budge!" Tallia retorted, and I sighed.

"Yes, love," I groaned but then pointed at my portal. "The point of this is to figure out who is best suited for the positions of goddesses. This isn't a vote for class president. These women will be in charge of not only keeping their race prosperous but also mending relationships all across the Mortal Realm of the Goddesses. This fight was the first one today that made me feel like some of the women actually have a chance, so I don't want to stop it until it is done."

Tallia sighed, realizing the gravity of the situation. "Fine, but I hope you know what you're doing. The city can only take so much damage."

"I do, and I appreciate your concern," I replied, giving her a reassuring smile. "Once this battle is over, the city will repair faster. The only reason I can't keep up with the damage is because the women are not rescuing the people fast enough. If I speed up the auto-repair rate people could get repaired into wall or furniture."

Looking down at the mess of a city, I sighed. I had underestimated the damage that would be caused by the fights. Tomorrow I would have to section off certain parts of the city for fighting. On top of that, it looked like I was going to have to give my Evil Goddesses a bit of a power boost as well.

The battle in the city continued to unfold, and O'Lee's relentless struggle against Whispera was reaching its peak. The clash of water and distorted space created a dazzling spectacle, and the spectators were on the edge of their seats.

As O'Lee summoned a massive tsunami to counter Whispera's spatial distortions, the tension in the air was palpable. The water serpent she had conjured coiled tightly around the Evil Goddess, holding her in a celestial grip. It was a battle not just of elements, but of divine forces at play.

Whispera, undeterred by the overwhelming water, began to channel her own powers with newfound determination. The distortions around her intensified, morphing into swirling portals that threatened to unravel O'Lee's control over the water.

O'Lee gritted her teeth, feeling the strain of the battle. Her eyes burned with a fierce resolve as she channeled even more divine energy into maintaining the tsunami and restraining Whispera. The two forces clashed with such intensity that it sent shockwaves through the city, causing buildings to tremble.

Back in the sky, Cherry, now in her empowered form, faced the aftermath of her aerial duel with Pyrrah. The dragon-form Pyrrah was nowhere to be seen, and Cherry, although exhausted, emerged victorious.

The crowd erupted into cheers, celebrating Cherry's triumph. It was a moment of respite for the city, a brief pause in the relentless battles that had unfolded throughout the day. Cherry, catching her breath, looked down at the city with a mix of exhaustion and determination.

Back on the ground, the water serpent continued to restrain Whispera, who struggled against the celestial force. The distorted portals around her flickered, but she refused to yield. O'Lee, feeling the strain, knew that she needed to end the battle decisively.

With a burst of divine power, O'Lee summoned a colossal wave from the tsunami, aiming it directly at Whispera. The water, imbued with celestial energy, crashed over the Evil Goddess, engulfing her in a torrent of divine force.

The spectators watched in awe as the water serpent and the celestial wave combined their forces, creating a radiant spectacle that illuminated the entire battleground. The clash between O'Lee and Whispera reached its climax, and the city held its breath.

As the waters receded and the echoes of the battle faded, the screen revealed the aftermath. O'Lee, exhausted but victorious, stood amidst the remnants of the celestial clash. Whispera defeated and drenched, lay on the ground, her distorted portals dissipating.

The crowd erupted into cheers once again, celebrating O'Lee's triumph over the formidable Evil Goddess. The battles showcased not only the contenders' strength but also their resilience and determination to protect the city.

With the defeat of Whispera and the aerial victory of Cherry, the intensity of the battles began to subside. The city, battered but still standing, entered a momentary lull.

I turned to Tallia with a satisfied smile. "See? They're proving themselves. The trials are tough, but they're rising to the occasion."

Tallia couldn't hide a small smile, acknowledging the resilience of the contestants. "I still think you're pushing them too hard, but I can't deny the results."

As the city began its gradual recovery, the contestants regrouped, catching their breath after the relentless battles. The spectators, both within the city and beyond, watched with a mix of awe and relief.

I looked down at the city, feeling a sense of accomplishment. The first day of the Goddess Games had been intense, but it had also revealed the true potential of the contenders. The battles were not just tests of strength; they were forging leaders who could rise above challenges and protect their people.

"We'll take a break for today," I declared, making the announcement through the magical communication system. "Rest, recover, and be ready for tomorrow. The challenges will continue, but remember, you're not just fighting for a title. You're fighting for the responsibility that comes with being a Goddess."

As the contestants dispersed to tend to their wounds and rest, the city's auto-repair mechanisms accelerated, gradually restoring the damaged areas. The Goddess Games had left its mark on Felidae, but it also promised a future where the chosen Goddesses would lead with strength, compassion, and wisdom gained through trials.

The first day had concluded, setting the stage for the continued trials and revelations in the days to come. The city rested, and I, too, took a moment to reflect on the events that had unfolded. The Goddess Games were far from over, and the challenges that lay ahead would test the contenders in ways they had not yet imagined.
